seizure

Avatar f tn Yes, Benzodiazepines are infact used to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders- however it is NOT an anti-/seizure convulsant based medication... It is actually considered a mild tranquilizer(sedative) that works by slowing down the central nervous system. Also, Benzodiazepine's are not the first choice for the treatment for seizure disorders. Studies have also shown that prolonged use of Benzodiazepine's in the long run for such disorders becomes less effective..
Avatar f tn The World Health Organization is responsible for applied codes relating to disease/illness. This is defined for classification of a recognized disease/illness, used by physicians and for deciding disabilities. In 1992 FMS held the classification of: Rheumatism, unspecified. In 2009 they developed another International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD 10-CM), which will be implemented in 2013.
822574 tn?1239473695 1 The classification of lymphocyte disorders is complex because there are various manifestations of these disorders.2,3 Three major groups can be distinguished: reactive lymphocytosis, premalignant neoplastic disorders of lymphocytes and neoplastic disorders of lymphocytes.4 Lymphocyte disorders may be accompanied by abnormal lymphocyte morphology;” Hope this helps. I think you should discuss this with your doctor and not panic without the doctor’s report.
Avatar f tn I would definitely have an EEG done to see about seizure activity. I have had a seizure disorder for the last 26 years. Most of the time mine were absence seizures. Unless people knew what they were looking for, they had no clue that I was having a seizure.
Avatar n tn If the actual medical classification provides narrowing key points between conditions like Atelectasis and Emphysema,then the question would never be asked.Because most of the patients do not come up with classical symptoms stated as in definition and series in pathophysiology,they often present sub-acutely making diagnosis difficult to narrow where radiologists work with physicians.
1056589 tn?1273747102 Many MVs have been defined by the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II) 2004 classification. These include hemiplegic migraines, basilar migraine, childhood periodic syndromes, retinal migraine, complicated migraines, and ophthalmoplegic migraine.Vertiginous migraine, acute confusional migraine of childhood, and nocturnal migraine, although well recognized entities, remain unclassified by the IHCD-II. http://emedicine.medscape.
Avatar m tn I have had 2 brain lesions for over three years. They have not grown the past two, but this years MRI showed growth. I have had a Lumbar Puncture and the only thing we are waiting on are the O-bands and the Total Protein. At this point, everything else it normal. I am frustrated as I had a Nerve Conduction study in 2015 from my knees down that showed I had no feeling from my knee to my foot on both outside legs.
Avatar f tn There is no simple, definitive test for a seizure disorder. Often, seizure disorders are diagnosed based on patient history and observation of a seizure. If your daughter had a seizure lasting 30 min., that would qualify for a diagnosis in the minds of many clinicians. I'm sure you'll follow up with the diagnosing doctors and others as necessary. I hope the seizure turns out to be a one-time event.
Avatar f tn I found an article on a new proposed classification system for SLE which includes fever in the criteria. The poll results are favour of the scheme - 71%.

Avatar m tn Meaning that if an EEG is done during an attack (such as the convulsion you describe above) and the EEG shows the seizure in the brain waves, then the seizure can be confirmed. In other people, convulsions occur but these are due to stress and not true seizures coming from epileptic activity in the brain, in which case the EEG will not show epileptic activity during the convulsion.
Avatar n tn I am confused by something I read on a medical inpatient report. There were many of the words that I did not understand what they meant so I looked them up. The one that I have just looked up is"paroxysmal" What I have found is that it is an event that is not really a seizure and comes from having pain. This was mentioned having a VEEG when I remember not having a complaint of pain. This confuses me from the report of a VEEG I had done.
Avatar f tn HI, An epileptic cannot have both a complex partial seizure disorder and a generalized seizure disroder. People with a generalized seizure disorder are usually born with it, while people with partial or complex partial get it sometime during thier life. Generlaized seizures occurr over the entire brain, while complex partial only occurr in a section of the brain. I have complex partial seizures that occurr in my right temporal lobe. They started from a head injury I got when I was three.
1221035 tn?1301000508 Does anyone know what DMD's, if any, that can be taken safely by people with seizure disorders?
Avatar n tn This drug is mainly used in the treatmen for seizure disorders, trigeminal neuralgia (pain). Dosage is 100-200 mg once or twice daily until unless changed ny a competent physician.
Avatar n tn (Currently available) antipsychotics can cause permenant movement disorder such as tardive dyskinesia. However, they must wait a period of time for withdrawl dyskineis to pass. From my knowledge atypical antipsychotics can increase the seizure threshold but this effect is generally not permanent. It would be best to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist and have them do full follow up including an EEG (the specific kind to try to set off seizures) and an MRI.
1516809 tn?1345082764 Today, when I visited my father, I observed that my father experienced some type of seizure as they were taking him for an MRI. I think this new neurologist is missing the boat, and I need to bring in another. The primary is hoping that the MRI will find something which in turn can change his admittance status. In the meantime, the primary reiterated again today that it was the hospital that changed the admittance status of my father.
Avatar n tn It was awful so I do understand how brain chemical disorders and electrical disorders can make you appear healthy but in reality you are as ill as anyone else with a problem. just believe in yourself and ignore the jerks and realize most people understand.
Avatar n tn I would definitely take her to the vet, although not necessarily to have her put down. I would let the vet examine her to see what he/she thinks the problem could be and take it from there. Seizure disorders can be managed medically, it's not necessarily the end of the line just because she had a seizure. I would, however, definitely get the vet involved.
2030686 tn?1351688548 I remember the gastro saying I needed to be seizure free for so long b4 I can tx. Does anybody know why this is? Will the medications lower my seizure threshold even more? My reg dr put in a call to the neuro after I had a few seizures this weekend and she put me on Keppra.
Avatar m tn It can be due to severe anemia, a failing heart, serious kidney disease, liver failure, electrolyte imbalance, polycystic ovary, low protein in the blood, and disorders of adrenal gland. This is something for which you must consult a doctor ASAP, preferably an internal medicine specialist. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
401370 tn?1233324682 d have to be suffering from severe, repeated, constant seizures, and with no medical attention. Some people who have seizure disorders often stop breathing during a seizure but it's such a short period of time. In severe cases, say an E.R. and someone's seizing badly, oxygen would be applied. You do not have brain damage.
2030686 tn?1351688548 Does anybody know what the early classifications were before hep c? He was born in 1966 and contracted hep b as a child. Is it possible that he had hep c and they just didn't know about it yet? I assume I got the hep c either from him or other people we "partied with". I never used needles but he had so I just assume he had hep c as well. I just don't understand how I could have one and not the other.
Avatar n tn BIRADS classification is applied for each breast independent or sum of both breasts? e.
Avatar n tn Regarding your first question, the classification (even though the condition is biologically-based) in the category of Pervasive Developmental Disorders has to do with the impact of the condition on aspects of development, in particular communication and attachment/social relations.
Avatar m tn Conversion disorders are disorders in which the patient suffers from symptoms of diseases that he does not actually have. The symptoms of a pseudoseizure are almost same as those of an epileptic seizure, but their origin is psychological, not neurological. One of the characteristic differentiating feature of an epileptic seizure is that there is an abnormal discharge of electricity from the brain during the seizure whereas there is no such electrical discharge during a pseudoseizure.
